Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger yesterday announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, news that rocked the football world.
From a Chelsea perspective this will have wide ranging effects. Firstly we must be worried about a new manager making Arsenal a dominant power again. But firstly, it will hugely affect our manager search this summer.
There’s now another top club that will be on the lookout for a manager this summer, yet more competition for us.
Even worse, there’s the prospect of Antonio Conte moving to the Gunners and making them into a success – although this seems pretty unlikely at this stage.
Already Luis Enrique, previously favourite to land the Chelsea job, has been made one of the favourites for the soon to be vacant role at the Emirates.
Expect to see plenty of similar situations arising in the coming weeks as the two clubs battle to secure the superior option.
